This volume explores the field of transport sector development.
Derived from the 2015 TranSopot conference held in Sopot, Poland,
it discusses current trends, issues, and research on the topic.
Specifically, it aims to explore sustainable development,
examines current problems ranging from transport systems to
transport enterprises and provides a variety of analytical
methods such as economic and econometric analysis.

Derived from the 2015 TranSopot conference held in Sopot, Poland,
it discusses current trends, issues, and research on the topic.
Specifically, it aims to explore sustainable development,
examines current problems ranging from transport systems to
transport enterprises and provides a variety of analytical
methods such as economic and econometric analysis.The three most important fields of current transport research
are sustainable transport development, innovation and technological
progress and the conditions of transport enterprise growth and
survival. Transport is an activity which is supposed to be
sustainable, environmentally aware, economically optimal, socially
sound and politically responsible. Striving for innovation in
transport means looking for organizational and technical solutions
which increase the efficiency, effectiveness and safety of
transportation. However, the main research issue in the field are
strategies for sustainable transport developments in urban and
rural areas, instruments of internalization of external transport
costs, promotion of environmentally-friendly transport behavior and
improvement of transport energy efficiency. Transport
infrastructure innovation, intelligent transport systems,
innovations in management and finance are some of the main concerns
of researchers and policy-makers in the field. Transport
enterprises need to adapt to the conditions of the new economic
growth perspectives. They need to create unique growth conditions,
otherwise they will condemn themselves to struggle for survival. In
particular, transport enterprises have to create special
functioning systems and programs to diversify economic activity to
use funds in the most efficient ways possible.
